Some things won't be fun when you first stop drinking. But don't make the mistake of assuming they never will.

Take breaks from things. Take breaks from people, too.

But remember that breaks aren't always a permanent change.

Leave room to open some doors again.

(Notice I said *some*! Not all doors need to be locked, but some certainly do. Use your wisdom here, folks! 😂)

Self worth comes from keeping promises to yourself.

The pink cloud is great... but it doesn't last forever.

It's how you handle what comes after that determines how life is actually gonna feel when you're sober.

“Nothing’s fun without alcohol,” is a phrase we hear all the time.

But can I challenge you for a minute?

Maybe it’s hard to have fun because you forgot how. Because you felt like you had to “grow up” and be mature, and that meant no longer being playful.

Maybe “fun” turned into productivity somewhere along the line, without you noticing. So now it just feels like another obligation.

Maybe you started to feel guilty if you took the time for fun, because you felt like you hadn’t done enough to earn the break.

Maybe you’ve spent so much time around people who roll their eyes at you when you get playful that you stopped altogether because you didn’t want to look stupid.

Do any of those ring true?

Because if the answer is yes - that’s why things don’t feel fun anymore. Alcohol was just a way to cover up the real issue.

That fun you’ve been missing is still there. It just got buried for a while.

Just... don't. 🥴

People don't drink for lots of reasons. And none of those reasons need to be explained.

If you don't drink - what's the craziest thing someone's said to you about it?

When you're not used to it, taking responsibility for the things in your life that you used to give away to others can feel hard.

You might kinda hate it at first, actually.

But it's also where freedom and power lie.

This week, we're digging into how creating fun and happiness is your responsibility - and how to take charge of it.

Ever heard of a vulnerability hangover?
It’s a thing.

And if you don’t know to expect it, it can definitely throw you for a loop.

It goes something like this:

You finally (finally!) talk to someone about something that’s hard to talk about.

You get honest and real, even though it’s scary.
And in the moment, it feels good. It feels lighter.
But then the next day your head starts spinning.

You wonder if you said too much. You start imagining rejection (even though it’s not happening.) You replay what you said a thousand times over, cringing a little harder each time. What felt light the day before now feels an awful lot like shame or embarrassment.

These are totally normal things to feel after you get vulnerable with someone. Even if they’re a totally trustworthy person. Even if everything you said was absolutely fine.

It’s easy to convince yourself you did something wrong. But you didn’t. You just did something that felt really uncomfortable. Your nervous system has been so dead-set on protecting you from rejection since basically forever that it’s kinda freaking out right now.

But it doesn’t mean you’re getting rejected. And it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it again. The more you show up being honest and real like that, it starts to actually feel more like freedom and less like an anxiety attack.

It's not just you. Euphoric Recall is a real thing, and it's a trick your brain plays to convince you that nothing will ever be as good sober as it was with alcohol.

But what it forgets to remind you of is the regret, the bad decisions, the anxiety... like all that stuff disappears, and only the good memories remain.

Take a pause. Ask yourself if what you're remembering is the whole story.

It’s how you’ve shown up your whole life, right?

Be what they expect you to be.

Meet everyone’s needs. Keep them happy - so they’ll like you. With the hope that them liking you will convince you that… you actually deserve to be liked.

The problem is that they like a version of you that isn’t who you actually are.

And somehow, your brain turned that into a belief that who you really are - if they were to ever see that - doesn’t actually deserve to be liked.

So your self esteem drops. Maybe disappears. You second guess everything you say, everything you do. You constantly wonder what people think, because it feels like your worth depends on their opinion.

There’s a different way to live.

And at first, it’s terrifying.

You start saying no. You say what you feel, instead of what you think you should. You put yourself first sometimes, and take care of your own needs - instead of trying to anticipate everyone else’s. You make mistakes sometimes, and you can laugh them off because you’re much more okay with just being human.

It’ll be uncomfortable at first.

Everything inside you will be screaming, wanting to protect you.

But you’ll start to get used to it. And you’ll even start to like the way it feels.

It’ll give you a kind of confidence you’ve never had before. You’ll start to actually like you.

And I am genuinely excited for you to really, really like who you are.

A lot of people have mentioned lately how hard it is to feel life they actually enjoy life without alcohol.

It doesn't feel as exciting.

We get it. We really do.

And also - a lot of times, that's your life telling you it's time to level up.

You don’t have to hit rock bottom to decide alcohol isn’t working for you.

“It’s not that bad” has kept a lot of people stuck for a long time.

The question isn’t whether things are "bad enough" yet.

It’s whether this is actually how you want to keep living.
